Salicutti 2000 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Editors' Choice
- $95
Tight as a drum, almost to the point that it’s constricted. Airing it unlocks cinnamon, chocolate and smoky leather aromas on top of blackberry, cherry and vanilla. Full in the middle, and less oaky and chunky than many others. This is a wine with guts and framing, yet it goes easy on the finish. Imported by Winebow.

Salicutti 2001 Piaggione Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $110
Expressive and intense with dried spices, distinct minerality, cherry cola, coffee grinds and just enough soft vanilla toastiness to fill in the blanks. Medium build with modest tannins and a long, herbaceous finish. Imported by Winebow.

Salicutti 1999 Sangiovese (Rosso di Montalcino)
- $33
This is no simple red; deep black fruit and leather aromas suggest an intense, young untamed wine. It’s rugged and muscular, with an opaque color, tight tannins that starch the cheeks, and a powerful, multilayered finish. Baby Brunello? Hardly. This is a full-grown wine all its own, and it still needs several more years to open up.
